Compared with white people in the United States, Chinese people prefer to work hard to shape a good network of people, and they are proficient in it, forming a unique social culture.

Through word of mouth, many people already know that a young Silicon Valley tycoon worth tens of billions of yuan will come to Tencent to inspect the work in the near future, which they see as an opportunity, and they are also envious of Tencent's ability to easily attract investors and get tens of millions of dollars in financing from Ye Dongqing.

In recent years, it is not easy for Internet companies to raise funds, luck and opportunities are indispensable, in fact, there are many small companies that should be very promising, but because of the difficulty of financing, they fell on the road to entrepreneurship.

When the bubble collapses, even Silicon Valley companies will not be able to obtain venture capital or financing, let alone in China, where most of them have no assets as collateral, so it is not easy to even get a loan from a bank.

People from Sohu, people from NetEase, people from Sina, etc., are on the way to try their luck, they know how good Ye Dongqing is in Silicon Valley now, and they also know how popular Facebook, Amazon and the like are in the world, hoping to take a ride and seek some win-win cooperation opportunities.

In addition to Bonnie Ma, Ye Dongqing knows more about Jack Ma, but this Jack got 20 million US dollars from the SoftBank Group last time, and the money has not been spent yet, there is no shortage of money for the time being, and there is no idea to come to talk to Ye Dongqing, and now he is busy and ready to start Taobao.

Speaking of this website, there are more or less shadows of eBay and Amazon, just like Bony was inspired by the ICQ program to create OICQ, and now it draws on the successful entrepreneurial experience of overseas and is the common practice of the first batch of Internet businessmen in China, because of the small scale, so it has little influence, almost no one pays attention to this piece, and Silicon Valley is wishing that there are more netizens in China, naively thinking that if they can take root in other markets, they can take root in China.

eBay, Google, Yahoo and other companies are all staring at this area, setting the goal of entering China, but Ye Dongqing knows that for some reason, their prospects will probably be bleak, and he believes that direct investment in local Internet companies is the most correct approach, and history has proven this to him......

The fastest person from Sohu is an assistant manager named Zhang Yang.

In order to find Ye Dongqing, his people have been guarding the exit of the airport since two days ago, and followed them all the way to the villa, it is a pity not to be a policeman.

As long as you can get help, there are a lot of bosses who accompany you to the hospital, this kind of thing is nothing, it already belongs to the category of "outwitting", last year Poni Ma originally planned to merge Sohu, but then it didn't happen, according to the news Zhang Yang got, it was because of Ye Dongqing that this merger was stirred up.

It's not that he wants to beat him up for revenge, in fact, with the gradual recovery of the NASDAQ Internet section in the past half a year, Sohu's stock price has risen by more than 30 percent, and he should thank Ye Dongqing, otherwise he will definitely lose a lot.

Sohu's current financial situation is not bad, relying on advertising to make some money, user growth has also brought about a rise in market value, it can be said that "thanks to the original grace of not killing", now they hope that the market value can return to the level of early 2000, and even want to continue to compete for the throne of China's first Internet company.

I don't plan to talk about the merger, in fact, even if Bonny Ma pays $200 million now, they will not agree to sell the shares, after all, the market is picking up, and there is upside potential.

The reason why I rushed over was mainly to talk to Ye Dongqing about entering the United States, hoping to reach cooperation with him, I have to say that these people still see the competition in the Internet industry as too simple, and there must be potential, but from the perspective of the improvement and scale of the industry, there is still a big gap with the United States.

Ye Dongqing was still sleeping when Zhang Yang arrived, and after learning about it from the bodyguard, he said in fluent English: "It's okay, continue to let him sleep, it's not too late to wake up and see me again, it's not an important matter." ”

Knowing that disturbing the other party's sleep will only be counterproductive, it is better to continue to wait and use a few hours to change a good feeling, the business is more likely to be negotiated, and it involves so much money, it is worth paying a little time. It is not often that Zhang Yang spent six years at Princeton University, during which he never met a single one, even if he couldn't negotiate, he would have to drink and brag in the future.

Ye Dongqing's bodyguard nodded, and continued to stand at the door, dressed in a black suit, Poni Ma got the news of their visit from the main force for the first time, although he wondered how he found the house, but in the end he decided to leave it alone, so as not to offend the boss of Sohu.

It's still too short a time to become famous, otherwise, with Ye Dongqing's worth, the official should send someone to receive it, at least he should show his face.

The vast majority of Americans have not heard of his name, and the Chinese media have not reacted to it, at least a very few people know him, so it is normal to be so bland, but Pony Ma learned to be tactful after suffering a little, and took advantage of Ye Dongqing's sleep to visit the local governor and invited the other party to have dinner together, during which he praised Ye Dongqing, saying that he was going to attract foreign capital to engage in online shopping malls, invest hundreds of millions and so on.

It's only 2004, the money is still very valuable, Pengcheng is not the future Pengcheng, the district mayor agreed without saying a word, I wish the more foreign capital that came to invest, the better, not to mention that Tencent is now a star enterprise, and it is also a star enterprise incubated under his own hands, of course, it attaches great importance to it.

Ye Dongqing woke up and felt much better, the afternoon of local time was already early in the morning according to New York time, according to the original biological clock, he should still be asleep at this moment, and the long voyage of more than ten hours also made him tired.

As soon as I changed my clothes and combed my hair and put on my shoes, I heard the voice of a bodyguard outside: "Boss, the car is ready, now let's go to the restaurant for dinner?"

"I'm ready, let's go now, you'd better buy a few bread and take it with you, most of the dishes you are not used to eating here, it is not in line with your eating habits. Ye Dongqing said.

Pawney came again, and as soon as they met, he told him: "I'm sorry, there are still a few outsiders doing business in our mainland at night, and it is indispensable to deal with official people......
